한국과 중국 천태종의 쌍방 교류의 영향 고찰

Abstract

Founded during the interregnum between the Chen (557-589) and Sui (581-618) dynasties, the Tiantai sect, also known as the Fahua sect, is the earliest localized Buddhist sect in China, as well as the earliest independent sect established in the history of Chinese Buddhism. In the development process of Chinese Buddhism for over 2,000 years, the Tiantai sect is valued by Chinese Buddhism for its long history and rich theoretical and ideological system, becoming an important part of traditional Chinese culture. The Tiantai sect is not only widely carried forward across China to influence all other sects of Chinese Buddhism, but also disseminated far to other countries. South Korea and China are closely related neighboring countries, with political, economic and cultural exchanges and relations since ancient times, establishing deep friendships in contacts between the peoples of the two countries. Buddhist culture is an important part of traditional cultural exchanges between the two countries, in which it always serves as an important bridge. The history of exchanges between the Tiantai sects of South Korea and China is a glorious page in the history of South Korean Buddhism, which lasts for over 1,600 years by now and has a deep influence on the Tiantai sects of South Korea and China. Through a study of history and literature, this paper deeply explored the history of exchanges between the Tiantai sects of South Korea and China and analyzed the role and effect of the two-way exchanges, to show the brilliant history of Buddhist exchanges and deep friendship between the two countries.
